ALL SKILL LEVELSBeginner to intermediate and those with expertise are welcome!Beginner-friendly. We were all beginners once!You will have more fun if you know a few basic (and easy!) chords like C, F, G7.. Like the C-chord, Am, A7 & C7 need just one finger on one string. Or play the "Z" chord all evening and get used to strumming in time: (Lay your index finger lightly across all strings to mute them. Strum!)

Ukulele: easy to get started and a lifetime to master! And FUN!

We welcome players of all ages, late high school to bon vivant retirees.

FEE: The center requests a $1-$2 per person room use fee.~ ~ ~BRING:Music Stand & the songbook or song sheets for the evening.Please check during the week for updates; for the very rare (but it has happened) cancellation; the songbook or song sheets to print out/download to your device and bring.

Message Linda via Meetup.Please play the song version through first to 'vet' it. Does it sound true? Chords in the right spots? - Or suggest a song and we will help you find a song sheet. Melodic or comedic, players have shared many wonderful songs. We've loved the mash-ups that have come our way.Sending a link to its YouTube video we can add it to our weekly Wayne YouTube playlist would be great.

EVERY TYPE OF UKULELE welcome!Baritone players need to be able to play along with us in C tuning (GCEA), with capo or a chord conversion chart, (unless you can convert chords on the fly.)~ ~ ~ ~ ~WE LOVE TO LEARN!Some of our players will often suggest a strum to accompany a song, a single notes intro or have a chord shape alternate fingering suggestion or other playing tip for us. The Daily Uke books help players gain experience reading music notation and a song's 'road map.' Share what you know!

A TYPICAL EVENINGoften goes like this: We play approx. 10 songs from one of the "The Daily Ukulele,"books, taking turns calling out and leading the next song. It helps the evening's flow if you come prepared with two songs pre-picked (and 'vetted') for us to play. Next, we play the songs you brought in to share, 15-20 copies, please.) Upcoming events announcements. 'Open Mic': we love to hear what you've been working on! If playing for an audience is new to you, practice on us!
